Was this a prescription from an NHS doctor? Are you sure the pharmacy didn't make a mistake?

That really sucks. For future reference can I suggest you look for a picture of what you want and print it out to give to someone buying on your behalf. This is so much safer than using words when the language may be unfamiliar.

Or get him to take an empty tablet box

The were called something different in cyprus to what they were in turkey so I didn't think to do that, I will stick to the Turkish ones I least I know there ok every time I walk in the kitchen and see 1000 thyroxin I want to cry😣
